FUN, UNIQUE, & HANDS ON FOR ALL AGES

Welcome to Campbell River’s Hands-on Aquarium and Explorer Lab!

We are closed for the 2023 season, and looking forward to a fantastic 2024!

See. Touch. Explore.


Come visit our collect and release non-profit aquarium!

The Discovery Passage Aquarium offers fun and unique hands-on educational experiences for people of all ages. Come to see, touch and feel our incredible local marine species and habitats and discover the diverse marine life of Discovery Passage and Islands. The Aquarium is open from spring until fall each year. Specimens from representative local species are collected from the marine environment in the spring and returned to the area of collection at the end of the season.
